• Clio 1.4RT heater problems 21 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  Hello, My Girlfriend has problems with her Clio's heating, it didn't all go at once though, setting 1 went first then 2 then it packed in altogether. I've read somewhere about resistors in the heating circuit, are these easy to get to and is it something I could fix myself.

• Replacing 2002 Mondeo - Still Looking 24 Jun 2013 (Forum)
    The salesman was unable to show me any service history though as it was allegedly locked in the admin office over the weekend. As the car was a 2012 with 17K on the clock it was due a service on mileage regardless of first reg date. This was a Ford dealer. Wasn't impressed with the small crack in front windscreen or scuffed alloys either.
• Help please! Before I'm priced off the road... 3 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  When I sat behind the wheel with the seat in its lowest position, the top of my head was touching the ceiling of the car). I have tried the older style Discovery, but the roof-line drops down onto the windscreen so as to make the vehicle dangerous for me to drive due to severely restricted front vision. Unfortunately It's difficult to locate specific technical information about 'older' vehicles. manufacturers don't seem too keen to assist either.

• Vauxhall Astra G Petrol - vauxhall astra radiator fan not kicking in 14 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  I thought it would be a matter of just topping up the coolant but it was something more than that. Neither the Radiator fan nor the Aircon fan kicks in no matter what you do. Luckily the car does not heat up during normal driving; it’s only at idle that the car heats up till the coolant is sprayed all over, suppose the air striking the radiator while driving cools it down. The fan works when supplied direct current.

• Jaguar XF - Mystery burn 17 Mar 2019 (Forum)
  I have found a burn on the passanger seat approximately 10mm long 2mm wide. I'm a non smoker and no one smokes in the car. I had my windscreen replaced a couple of weeks ago. Do repairers use hot tools or tools that get hot due t to friction? they may have been placed on the seat. Thanks
• Vauxhall Vectra C Hatch - Water leak around top of A Post 24 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  When raining I am getting water leaking into the car that is dripping in around the top of the A post on the passenger side. It seems to be higher than the top of the windscreen so I'm wondering if there is a drain on the roof somewhere that amy be blocked.
• Toyota Corolla (1997 to 2002) - 97 1.3 Lubricating motors 8 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  Hello, Perhaps a daft question, but is it possible to lubricate the various motors in a car(not just my model) ie windscreen washer pumps, electric window/sunroof motors? They eventually sieze, so surely a bit of oil would go a long way to preventing that. They are not cheap to replace.
• Daewoo Lanos (1997 - 2002 ) - vin number on display 15 Oct 2007 (Forum)
